Something Real Messed Up Happened To Me

Hello. In my last video, I briefly

mentioned a stranger who watches my

YouTube channel randomly showing up at my

house and ringing my doorbell, and I

didn't really want to make a video talking

about it, but seeing as a lot of people

showed an interest in the comment section,

I guess— I suppose I'll make a video

explaining what happened. And I'll also

talk about how I feel about the whole

situation and what I think about fans just

randomly showing up at people's houses

unannounced. And first of all, I know what

some people are thinking. They're

thinking, well, Daniel, you chose to

become a YouTuber, so you should expect

this kind of thing to happen. It's part of

the job. And I strongly disagree with that

statement. It is not part of the job.

It's just something unfortunate that

happens because There's a lot of weirdos

out there in the world. Saying that it's

part of the job is kind of like saying

that if you're a fisherman, for example,

and your boat sinks and you nearly drown,

well, it's just part of the job. Tough

luck. Get yourself a new boat. No, I just

completely refuse to accept the fact that

I have to put up with creepy behavior from

people on the internet just because I

decided to become a YouTuber. So it was

about 9 PM in the evening. Me and my wife

were watching TV in the living room, and

my mum and my sister were in the second

living room watching the bigger TV. And

then all of a sudden, the doorbell rings.

And at first, I didn't really think it was

anything suspicious because, you know,

the doorbell rings every day. I thought

maybe it was my uncle coming over to help

fix something, or maybe it was just Amazon

delivering something to my sister. I

didn't really think it was too strange. I

didn't answer the door because I never

answer the door unless it's an Amazon

package that I've ordered. If I didn't

order anything, then I don't answer the

door unless it's the postman. So my mum

gets up and goes to answer the door, and I

can hear them talking, and then I hear him

say, Daniel, and at that moment

I realized, ugh, it must be someone who

knows my YouTube channel Because who else

could it be? I haven't had any friends

come to visit me since I was 16 years old.

And then I heard my mum ask him, how do

you know Daniel? And I heard him say he

knew me from the internet. And I don't

think my mum quite understood what he

said, or maybe she didn't catch what he

said because he was kind of mumbling and

his voice wasn't very loud or clear. And

my mum has hearing difficulties and

English is not her native language. The

next moment, she invites him into the

house and then brings him into the living

room where me and my wife were sitting on

the sofa. I was sitting there playing on

my Switch, and I quickly looked up to see

what he looked like, and then I looked

back down because I was so angry. I didn't

even say hello to him. I just pretended— I

tried my best to ignore him, pretend he

wasn't there, and I went back to playing

my Switch. My mum started talking to him,

and I think she still didn't understand

that he was a viewer of my channel, and

she kept asking him if he was my friend

from school, and then he had to try and

explain again that he watches my YouTube

channel, and then I, I think it finally

clicked and she finally understood what

was going on. He also told us his user—

his YouTube username, and I recognized the

username. He has been watching the channel

for many years. And he has given me a lot

of donations during livestreams. He said,

thank you for making good content on

YouTube, and then he gave us a Christmas

card and a box of chocolates, and then he

left. So nothing really crazy happened.

As soon as he left, I started shouting at

my mum because I was so, so angry that she

didn't understand that he was a viewer of

my channel and she just let a stranger

into the house. I had to explain to her

that a lot of people know where we live,

and a lot of people don't like me, and

it's not a very good idea to just randomly

let strangers into the house who show up.

She kept saying, I thought it was your

friend. I thought he was your friend from

school. I thought maybe it was Jason or

Joshua. You know, those 2 boys you used to

be friends with over 20 years ago at Sun

Valley Primary School. Yeah, because

people from my school who I used to be

friends with over 20 years ago are just

going to randomly show up at our house 20

years later, even though I haven't spoken

to them in 2 decades. Yeah, they're really

just gonna randomly show up at our house

and give me a Christmas card. I just

cannot understand how she could possibly

think that I still have friends coming

around to visit me. Does she not know me

at all? I do not have any friends.

I think I was more angry at my mum and not

the guy who randomly showed up at our

house. I was angry at my mum because she,

she thought I had friends. Even if it was

Jason or Joshua from 20 years ago, what

makes her think that I would still want to

talk to them anyway? They're pretty much

strangers to me. I haven't spoken to them

in such a long time. I don't even know who

they are. I don't like being forced to

talk to people I don't really want to talk

to. I don't like being forced to meet

people unless I decide that I want to meet

them. And my mum always does things like

this ever since I was a kid. She would

just bring people up to my bedroom and

force me to talk to them. It actually

happened quite recently after my dad's

funeral. We had a lot of visitors come

around to to talk to my mum and

see if we're okay. And I was in my room

playing Rainbow Six, had my door shut,

and she brings up 2 people that we used to

know when I was a kid, brings them up to

my room, opens my door without even

knocking, and then she says, this is

Daniel, do you remember him? And I'm

sitting there with my back turned, really

irritated that she brought them up to my

room in the first place. And they're just

standing there in my doorway, and I just

said, hello. And they asked me if I'm

okay, how I was, and I just said, I'm

fine. It was so uncomfortable. And after

they left, I got angry with my mum and I

had to scold her. I said, can you stop

bringing people up to my bedroom? And then

she said, they wanted to talk to you. And

then I said, I don't want to talk to them.

If I wanted to talk to them, I'd go

downstairs. And say hello. And you know

what she said? She said, it's my house,

I'll do what I want. In fact, I'm going to

do it more, and if you don't like it, you

can just leave. It's so irritating. Every

argument we have just ends with, it's my

house. Anyway, I had to lecture her about

crazy people on the internet and crazy

fans, and you know, you get these horror

stories about crazy people doing stuff

breaking into famous people's houses and

stuff like that. I think after we

explained to her how creepy it was, she

finally understood how, how dangerous of a

situation it could have been if it was the

wrong person. After he left, we were all

pretty creeped out. My sister was hiding

in the other room with her mobile phone

getting ready to call the police. My wife

was pretty freaked out as well. I still

don't think my mum quite understood the

situation properly. Now, to be honest, I

kind of expected this to happen sooner or

later because I know my address is out

there on the internet. And that was my own

fault. 5 years ago when I was making

videos for the first time, I stupidly made

videos outside in the garden with my house

fully visible. And at the time I didn't

realize that it was so easy to just find

someone's house using Google Maps and

stuff like that. And I didn't think it

would matter because hardly any people

were watching me at the time. I had about

50 subscribers. I really didn't think my

channel would get so big. I didn't think

it was that important. But several people

did find out where I lived, and before I

could take the videos down, my address was

being shared around on the internet and

being pasted onto gossip websites and

Pastebin websites, and it's pretty easy

now to find where I live. But just because

I accidentally doxxed myself doesn't mean

that I want people coming around to my

house. I think I have to make this very

clear. I do not want anyone coming

around to my house unless I specifically

invited you to come over. Do not come to

my house. I don't know how you got my

address. You probably just Googled it,

but I don't want people knowing my

address. It's private information. The

only reason it's public is because I

wasn't careful enough. The only exception

would be— well, I guess if you're a cute

girl, then I wouldn't mind too much if you

came round to say hi. And if I was a

single man, I would even invite you to

stay the night, and I wouldn't mind if you

snuck into my bedroom in the middle of the

night to keep me warm. But unfortunately,

I am a married man, and I would have to

say, sorry, I have a wife. Goodbye. And my

final message to the fan that showed up at

my house would be, well, I guess I'm

pretty appreciative. I'm very grateful

for all of the support you've given me

over the years and all of the money you've

donated to me, but I'm still pretty angry

that you just randomly showed up at my

house. If you're really a fan and you know

me well from watching my videos, you would

have known how upset I would be if you

just showed up at my house, but you showed

up anyway. And now you're happy because I

made a video talking about you. I just

hope you understand how upset you made me

and my family, and you nearly ruined

Christmas for us, so I hope it was worth

it. Here's your video. I hope you're

happy. I noticed some people were calling

me a hypocrite in the comment section

because last year I stream sniped Ice

Poseidon. Stream sniping is when someone

does a livestream And then you find out

where they are, and then you just go up to

them and then say hi. And that's just so

silly. Stream sniping someone whilst

they're doing a stream outside in public

is completely different to randomly

showing up uninvited to someone's house.

You can't call me a hypocrite because

number one, I wasn't doing a livestream.

Number two, I was not in a public area. I

was in a private area. My home is a

private place for just me and my family

and people that we invite. If we don't

know who you are and we didn't invite you

to come round, then I'm sorry, but you're

not welcome. I really hate to sound so

rude to the people who like me and support

my channel, but I'm just not that

interested in meeting anyone from the

channel unless it's a cute girl, but I'm

married, so maybe that's not such a good

idea either. I'm sure you're very nice

people, and maybe I would even like

some of you if I actually got around to

meeting all of you, but I'm just not

a very sociable person, and I feel very

uncomfortable and nervous meeting

strangers. I guess if you see me outside

in public walking around, then I wouldn't

mind too much if you just came up and said

hi, as long as you didn't start following

me around or you didn't start filming me.

I don't really like being filmed by

strangers. Actually, I got recognized

twice when I came back from England, back

to Japan. At the airport in Heathrow, I

got recognized by some English guy. He

said he watched my videos and he thought I

was funny, and he patted me on the

shoulder. And then I asked him where he

was going. He said Greece, and then I said

goodbye. And then when I arrived in Japan,

When I was waiting for my wife to get her

luggage, this Japanese woman came up to me

and said, are you hiding in my room? And I

said yes, and she said she watches my

channel and she likes my videos. It was

really strange. And then she said it was

nice to see me, and then she said goodbye.

And that was fine. Don't really— I don't

have any problems with those kind of

interactions. I just don't like it when

people come directly to my place place of

residence. I feel like my privacy is being

violated, and I don't really want to have

to deal with people when I'm at home

relaxing and spending time with family.

Oh, cooking.

Candle cooking.

You're making us come back, Ryan. Ryan.

Yeah, it's gone all black. I haven't seen

Ryan for a month. You haven't

seen me for— Robert, the light.

What happens with a Hong Kong guy? You're

still friends? We're not friends.

No, the video

looks so cinematic.
